updateEnvironment

Modify an existing environment for a test target, updating credentials, headers, or discovery URL.

Instructions

the updateEnvironment tool can update an environment for a given test target. an environment represents a specific setup or deployments for a test target. It include a test account when necsesary to login, a header configuration, a discovery url and a set of variables.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameNoOptional new name for the environment
basicAuthNoOptional basic authentication credentials, if discovery needs authentication
testAccountNoOptional test account credentials, if discovery needs authentication
discoveryUrlNoOptional new discovery URL
testTargetIdYesUnique identifier of the test target
environmentIdYesUnique identifier of the environment
privateLocationNameNoOptional name of the private location, if discovery needs to discover in a private location e.g. behind a firewall or VPN
additionalHeaderFieldsNoOptional additional HTTP header fields, if discovery needs additional headers to be set
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, and description does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, destructive nature, or what happens if inputs are invalid. The description merely states 'can update' without elaboration.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Description is reasonably concise but includes a redundant definition of environment and a typo ('necsesary'). It could be more streamlined.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 8 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is adequate but leaves gaps. It does not explain return values, error handling, or relationships between required and optional fields.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds some context about environment components (test account, header configuration, etc.) but does not provide deeper semantics beyond schema descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it updates an environment for a test target and defines what an environment includes. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like createEnvironment or deleteEnvironment.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Lacks context about prerequisites or when not to use it.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
